Hi guys, it's Nicole and welcome back to my channel.
Today's video is going to be a 5 a.m. college day in my life, but before we get into it,
I want to thank Canon for sponsoring this portion of the video.
You guys know how obsessed I am over Canon cameras, but another product I've been loving
from them is the Canon Megatank PIXMA G3270 printer.
As my sophomore year of college picks up, a lot of the classes that I'm taking require
a good amount of printing.
Having this printer in my dorm is an absolute game changer and perfect for a college student
during the school year.
The setup is so easy and is compact in size so it fits perfectly in my space.
It's so convenient not needing to run to the library or the bookstore across campus or
worrying about ink when I have something to print last minute for class.
The best thing about this printer is I can link it to my mobile device and use the Canon
print app or even Apple AirPrint, which helps me save more time and money.
And two years of ink are included in this box.
Click the link down below and get your Canon Megatank PIXMA G3270 printer now.
Hope you all are having an amazing semester and now let's get into the video.
Mwah!
Good morning!
Oh my gosh, it's so cold in my dorm.
I keep my AC at like 65 degrees so I'm always wearing a hoodie, which is the way I like
it.
But every single morning I'm like, oh it's freezing!
Anyways, good morning everyone!
Welcome to a 5am day in my life.
It is quite early.
Yeah, it's quite early.
But now that I'm a little bit more awake, my voice is still defrosting.
I don't know why I sound like this in the morning.
But let me tell you guys about the plan for the day.
We indeed have a pretty busy day ahead of us.
Okay, so today I have Lyft with my dance team, that's why we're up so early.
I also have three classes today, two in person and then one online.
And then later tonight I have practice with my dance team.
And then other things I need to get done.
I have some homework and then I need to edit my vlog.
It's currently week 2 of school and it's like towards the end of the week when I'm filming
this so I just need to make sure I'm turning everything in on time and getting all my stuff
done, you know?
But the school year is definitely picking up already, you guys.
Which is so exciting but also like, ahhh, at the same time because I feel like I'm doing
a million things in one day.
But I'm so excited to get- what are you saying?
I cannot speak this morning.
But I'm so excited to be back in- Nicole, literally walk in.
Speak slower.
But I'm so excited to be back into the swing of things.
I'm starting to get more of a routine as the days go on.
And sophomore season has been going great so far.
So I hope you guys enjoy this vlog.
Today's gonna be a great day.
Breakfast of the day.
I'm gonna eat this mango yogurt.
And some fresh cut up mango.
From Trader Joe's.
I'm so tired.
Cheers, everyone.
Time for team Lyft.
Dance team keeps me in shape, you guys.
We basically have practice, Lyft, or an event almost every day of the week.
Today we have both practice and a Lyft.
The whole team will work out and we're split into groups.
I think my group is hitting glutes and cardio today.
Here's what I'm wearing.
A light pink set.
Some sweatpants.
Tennis shoes.
And my little dancing belt bag.
I just bring my phone, AirPods, and a little chapstick.
Oh, and I just filled up my water bottle.
But let's start off the day with some movement.
Time for team Lyft.
Thank you.
You too.
Post-workout!
I got a strawberry-fueled shake from Shake Smart.
This is my favorite shake from there.
And they made it really good today.
Look at how pink it is.
Cheers.
Mm, mm, mm.
Wow, yummy.
But successful workout.
Got in a great sweat this morning.
And perfect way to start the day.
The sun is out now.
Sky is blue.
I always feel so accomplished in the morning once I get a workout in.
Because I feel like I've already done so much.
Oh my gosh.
Why is it so loud?
But I'm gonna head back to my dorm now.
I have class in like an hour and a half.
So let's fix all of this.
All right, I just got out of the shower.
Having my own bathroom this year is literally a dream come true.
It's literally a game changer, you guys.
Like, oh, I love it so much.
I can do my business in peace.
I can play my speaker as loud as I want.
Because trust me, communal bathrooms, special place in my heart for sure.
But definitely love having my own bathroom.
Okay, but I'm getting ready for class.
I think I'm just gonna let my hair air dry and I'm doing like very minimal makeup.
I feel like throughout the school year, I try to do as minimal as possible.
Because for game days and dance team events, I'm always doing like a full face, putting
heat on my hair.
So like the less I can do that, I try.
Because I just don't want to damage my skin or my hair anymore.
But I'm actually pretty excited for class today.
I have friends in all my classes this semester.
Some coincidental, some planned.
And then some are some new friends.
But I definitely love being on campus and just having that feeling of like being a college
student.
I don't know if that makes sense.
But I'm still in that early phase of the school year where I'm like excited for everything.
So we're gonna see how long that lasts.
But like I said, things are definitely starting to pick up just with everything.
So you guys already know, I have my planners and my assignment trackers.
And we're doing our best to stay on top of everything.
Oh!
Ow!
I just poked my eye.
Alright, I'm gonna finish getting ready though.
I'll see you guys when I'm done.
Fit check for class.
Wearing a bodysuit, this skirt, and my bag.
My tennis shoes on.
I always leave my dorm 30 minutes before my class starts so I can get there a little bit
early, get a seat.
So let's head to class everyone!
Oh!
Fun fact.
Skateboarders here will just run you over.
So get out of their way or else you will be on the floor.
Anyways, I was gonna say, the sun feels so good.
Usually when I'm walking to my first class, the weather feels really nice.
But then when I get out of my first class, oh my god.
I'm like dying.
It's been getting over 90 degrees here.
Oh my gosh, it's food market day.
I think that's what's gonna get me through class.
Good morning, Hefner!
Hey guys, post comms class.
Garrett, go ahead and tell them.
I was 20 minutes late at my corporate meeting.
He's corporate baddie, but also comms baddie.
But then sometimes he'll show up late.
It's like really bad.
But it's okay, I like, I came in slang, like everyone loved me.
Like I was 25.
You were slang.
It was really funny, guys.
He literally like bumped into every table.
It was so bad.
I grabbed the guy in front of me with my backpack and my hat.
But it was chill.
Everyone was crying a little.
Yeah.
We're done with class, so we're at the food market.
Me and Audrey just ordered up Asian booth.
And look who's tabling.
I think all the frats and sports clubs are out.
So my team is tabling.
Bella!
How's it going so far?
It's going good.
You guys look great.
Oh yeah.
Jazz nationals routine.
Cloud Mary, period.
Okay, and then we have Peiji Poo.
I really wanted a coffee, and I was like, I have to earn it.
So I bought.
You're so cute.
Yeah, I just got so much food.
Okay, that place is so good.
I think I might go to that one too.
We have mango sticky rice.
I got it last night.
Okay.
Well, love you guys.
Love you.
Love, love, love.
We're also getting mango sticky rice.
I might get a drink too.
Thursdays are for big backs, and big backs indeed.
Yay!
Food haul.
We got a lot.
From the Asian food stand, I got beef bulgogi and wontons.
And then I got veggie rolls.
Yes.
Loki dropped a bag there.
Yeah.
And then we both got mangoes.
Obviously.
Also, shout out to the cash register girl.
Yes, she's so cute.
She's literally so cute.
Oh, and then I got a mango and strawberry smoothie slushy thing.
And then, I actually just met Audrey's cousin and his girlfriend, and so we're all going
to have lunch out in the courtyard.
And then there's more cute.
There's so many people on campus today.
Is it good?
You want to try?
Yeah.
Oh my god, that's so good.
That's like refreshing.
Mmm.
Wait, that's...
Yeah.
We'll share.
Mmm.
Wow, that's really good.
Exactly.
I can't speak, guys.
It's so cold.
It's so warm.
Um, we're going to have a great lunch.
Cheers, everyone.
Cheers.
Mm-hmm.
Oh my gosh.
I'm sweating.
It's so hot now.
But I'm going back to my dorm.
I forgot my AirPods this morning, which sucks, because I usually listen to music whenever
I'm walking on campus.
So then I called my mom.
She says hi.
I was like, I'm going to go vlog now, Mom.
And she was like, tell the vlog you say hi.
But I literally call my mom like multiple times a day, every single day.
I did that last year, too, and I don't think I'll ever talk.
But then I was like, oh, let me talk to the vlog.
First class was a success.
I really like that class because he just talks the whole time, but I feel like I can multitask
so I get like other homework assignments done.
So it's pretty productive.
I definitely said I had three classes today, but I forgot that my second class, which is
online, doesn't meet on Thursdays.
Only early mornings.
I only have one more class, and it's later.
So you know what that means.
I'm going to go take a nap.
Whenever I wake up at 5, most likely I will always take a nap in the middle of the day
because it's really early.
And in order to last all day at school and then at practice later, I'm definitely going
to catch some Z's.
So let's get back into my AC room and take a bomb nap.
Guys, guess what?
Literally.
Ripped.
Um, OK.
So are you all right?
I'm sorry.
We're going to try this again.
Stay put.
But guess what?
My class got canceled.
I just got a Canvas notification and my poor math professor has been sick this whole week
because he canceled our last class as well.
But that means I'm done with class for the day.
And that also means longer nap.
Yay!
But I just wanted to give you guys the update.
I'm going to go put some comfy clothes on and hop into that bad boy.
See y'all later.
Hi vlog.
Your girl is back.
Better than ever because I just had such a good nap.
And I finished the rest of my mango and sticky rice right when I got up.
But I lowkey slept for like three hours.
That's the longest nap I've taken during my sophomore year so far.
I swear I've been so busy every single day that I'll maybe get in like a 30 minute to
an hour nap.
But I just remember last year I would literally take like four or five hour naps, which is
honestly so real because college is kind of tiring.
But I'm feeling really good now.
I am currently getting some homework done in bed.
I just have a few assignments due tonight so I want to get it done before I have to
leave to practice.
And then I also want to get ahead for my assignments due this weekend so that I just don't have
to worry about it.
So I'm just going to watch some of my online lectures, turn in, if you know you know, my
pack bags.
I got some done already earlier in the day so I'll probably sit here for like an hour
and get some work done.
Say hi to the vlog.
What up?
My dad just called me and he goes, you forgot.
And I'm like, what?
I didn't forget anything.
He was like, what month is it?
And I said, it's your birthday month, dad.
No, no, no.
You said birthday week.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I meant your birthday month.
Okay.
Happy birthday month.
We're going to be celebrating you every single day.
You said you forgot.
I did not though.
He's being a diva.
He's being hella diva and I'm just trying to get my homework done.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to go now.
Love you guys.
I will.
Happy birthday month, dad.
Okay.
Love you.
Bye.
He's such a diva.
All right.
It's time to get ready for practice.
I have to leave in like 10, 15 minutes.
But tonight's going to be really exciting because it's our first team dinner slash meeting
of the school year.
Basically our first hour of our practice.
We go into this meeting room, talk about business things, and everyone's supposed to bring a
dinner so we can all eat as a team.
And then after that, we go into the studio and dance for the rest of it.
But I'm currently packing my bag right now.
Update on my food situation, you guys.
If you know, you know, I don't have a kitchen.
I literally just have a microwave, my ice machine, and my water boiler.
So I've been living off of Trader Joe's things that I can just microwave.
For example, this chicken.
He didn't serve cooked chicken breasts and I've been eating them with these little guacamole
bowls.
This is going to be really noisy.
There she goes.
I also got these cherries from H Mart the other day.
So I think I'm going to pack some of these.
Also from H Mart, some Pocky and this little pastry.
And then I always like to have other snacks like fruit snacks or Scandinavian swimmers
from Trader Joe's.
Just so I can have little bites during practice.
So I'm currently packing all my food right now.
And then for my backpack, I just need to pack some extra hip hop clothes and I think I'm
going to walk in this outfit.
Not the sandals.
I'm going to put tennis shoes on.
But yeah, I'm going to get everything together and then we will leave and be with my team
once again.
Hello!
Jaden, what do you have for team dinner?
Oh, hello!
Okay, so I have a salmon.
Yum.
I have a seaweed salad with fish eggs and then some jalapeno.
Wow!
Is that going to be my dinner?
Yeah, yeah.
We're waiting for the room to open so we've already got a head start.
Audrey's turn.
My DTB.
Hi!
So I made myself some steak.
There's only one left.
But there's a lot.
And...
Very nice.
Some fruit and veggies and banana milk.
Yes!
So yummy.
My name, Madison.
These are our bento boxes.
That's so cute!
I made cucumber salad and I have seaweed and anchovies.
Wow!
And we got these from an event last year.
They were so nice.
No!
No way!
Oh my gosh, nice!
And there's like a cutting board on the top.
Wait, that's so cute.
Hey guys!
These are me and Kenzie's lipsticks.
On the deal.
We're going to do a taste test of Alexis' smoothie.
It's terrible.
No, it tastes really bad.
It tastes like nothing.
Oh, is that?
No.
You're dumb.
Okay, guess what?
I know what it is.
I brought you chicken.
Yes.
Wait, you have to eat it.
See?
Yeah.
Wait, show them your food.
It just tastes like chocolate.
It's a boy.
Wait, you have to eat it.
Light tea?
Yeah, we might have some in my car.
Oh my god, really?
Oh, thank you, Robin.
It's light.
Yeah, she has light tea.
Oh, I thought it was yours.
Yeah, I just told her we got them.
So, I actually bought like this big of a bag.
Wait, I actually did.
Yeah!
Oh, you did too?
Oh my gosh, no.
It's okay.
They're all for you.
I have literally a whole big bag.
Okay, ready?
There you go.
Oh my god, I didn't even try.
Okay, I know it looks sus because it's a little bag.
Yeah, no, but thank you.
Wait, you have to eat it.
We're going to have a yummy little drink.
I'm going to pass it to Nia and Kendra.
I have mango salsa, and I have a local corn chip dipper, and then I have this muffin,
Made Good Muffin, and then I have donut peach.
Wait, what the?
Okay, so whenever you're watching this, I'm going to take a bite of this.
Do I need a napkin?
Hey guys, I'm going to get my frozen grapes and we're going to go taste some.
Cheers.
Wait, those are really good.
Hey baby.
Hi.
I have no water.
With the chair?
Yeah, everyone has a table.
That's right.
We're about to go.
It's good.
Okay.
Are you going to cook this?
No.
Try this.
It's delicious.
It's really yummy.
Really?
A full one?
No, no, no.
What?
She's going to eat the leggings.
Run outside.
I'm going to make a whole juice for sandwich dinner.
Guys, this is our meeting room.
Is that your first leggy?
Yeah.
I went to H-Mart.
I'm proud of you.
I guess not.
Why did the whole team go to H-Mart?
Did you get that from H-Mart?
Yeah.
Okay guys, we're going to talk business.
Love you.
And we are back in my dorm.
Finally.
Oh my gosh.
It's been a long day.
While I finish getting unready, I'm going to put on some eye patches.
Guys, I've been doing this every single night after I shower and it's literally my-
Okay, can you like open?
And it's been my favorite way to unwind and end my days with some self care.
So, I just put them on like that and then let it sit for like 15-20 minutes.
And I love them.
Like, look how fun.
Okay.
Why am I having so much trouble?
There we go.
Also, if you couldn't tell, I have my retainers in so I might have a list for the rest of
this video.
But I'm going to be so real with you guys.
Right when I got home from practice, I literally sat in this chair, ate a little snack, and
I just started crying.
I'm okay.
Trust me.
I'm fine.
But honestly, I think I just had a moment.
One of those where I was kind of like built up.
Over the past few days, I think this past week in specific, I've just been trying to
fit so much into my days in terms of work, in terms of being social.
And by the end of every single day, I've just been like so exhausted.
Which is also a blessing.
Like, I love being busy.
And honestly, I feel like I thrive when I have a lot of things going on because by the
end of the week, I feel so accomplished.
I'm like, wow.
I did that, you know?
But I think there are some moments where God is literally telling me to like slow down
and like it's okay to not be busy 24-7.
And once again, it feels great to be back into the swing of things in college, but I
think I'm still figuring out my balance with everything.
So that's where I am right now.
Just had to get some tears out, but I feel so much better.
And now I have my eye patches.
I feel so great.
And I'm just really happy to be back in my dorm.
On that note, it is time to get back into bed.
My favorite place ever.
Also, love this lighting.
It's so pink in my room.
But last thing I have to do today is finish editing.
So I'm just gonna sit here with my laptop and get some work done just until I fall asleep
because this video is up tomorrow, so I need to make sure it's all ready.
But that's definitely another thing I'm figuring out is like my editing schedule because if
you didn't know, I had an editor all throughout my freshman year of college, but this year
I decided I want to go back to editing full-time for my channel, which I think has been a great
decision for me, but college is quite busy.
So I'm trying to find that sweet spot of a schedule that I need in order to manage everything.
So, ooh, before I get to that though, I wanted to show you guys the book that I'm reading
right now.
Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Ah, it's so good.
And if you watch my vlogs over the summer, I actually got this a few weeks ago, but I
didn't start it because I was just on a romance novel kick and I read like almost 20 romance
books over the summer.
But then I got this self-help book and I brought it to school with me and I finally started
a few days ago and oh my gosh, you guys, I love it so far.
Only a few chapters in, but it's already that good.
Kind of to sum up the book, tiny changes, remarkable results.
So he talks about how small habits can create such big change over time.
And you guys know me, I love stuff like that, like productivity, routines, habits, all that
good stuff.
And I just can't wait to finish it.
So that's the current read.
I've also been trying to replace that with scrolling on my phone because, ugh, I try
so hard.
Well, actually no, because I do it all the time.
But I find myself scrolling on social media, like TikTok or YouTube, like all the time.
So I'm trying to make better use of my time and I feel like reading is definitely a great
alternative.
So yeah, those are some updates.
But I think I'm going to end this video right here.
I hope you guys enjoyed a 5am day in my life as a college student.
Every single day at school is different, but here's what a typical day of my fall semester
looks like.
Still figuring out my routine in sophomore year, but I hope you guys are all having a
great school year so far.
